Score 88/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous

Good medium red. High-toned aromas of cherry, faded rose, cinnamon and autumn leaves. Supple and appealing, with bright raspberry flavor, good texture and sound acidity. Not as sharply delineated as some of the '99s from farther north but has no shortage of complexity. This is a cherry-picking of the best barrels from the new owner Vista Verde Vineyard in San Benito County. Given today's overheated California wine prices, this is good value in pinot noir.
